If a Paratext project or a Digital Bible Library resource was selected when the project was connected to Paratext, you see that project or resource in the Based on line. But now you can choose a different project or resource or choose a project or resource for the first time. 

  1. Click the Source text (optional) line and then click the project or resource you want as the basis of the translation suggestions.

  2. If the Source text (optional) line shows a project or resource, you can select () Enable Translation Suggestions if you want to enable translation suggestions.

The project or resource is the source of the translation suggestions.

The books and their layout in the project you are translating must match the books in the Source text project or resource.

You open it from the Project menu > Manage books > Create book(s).

When translating, you can use the button to swap the Based on project or resource and your project from one side of the window to another.
